Don't have GUI. This is not really related to wvdial. Machine(n) must be a ppp server. To do that you must run mgetty by putting a line like this in inittab: S0:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty ttyS0 assuming you using serial port 1. Then in /etc/ppp you need to configure the options file and the pap-secrets file. In /etc/mgetty+sendfax you need to configure the login.conf and mgetty.conf files. Look at documentation for how to setup a ppp server to decide how these files should be configured. I personally favor kppp as the ppp client put wvdial should also work. Set up an dial acct foe each machine(n) and go for it. Don't use telnet though , use ssh which is more secure. -- ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University 715 Stadium Dr. San Antonio, TX 78212-7200
